ReStore offers workshop on learning to use tile

Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley's ReStore, 860 N. State St. (Route 31) in Elgin, is offering a free workshop on "Ceramic Tile Installation and Repair for Floors and Walls" from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.

This workshop will be taught by AM 560 WIND "Your House Chicago" radio show co-hosts Rich Cowgill and Dawn Tuskey.

"Like the other workshops Rich and Dawn have taught thus far at ReStore, they will be certain the participants leave with a greater understanding of the process of tile installation and repair," said Barb Beckman, executive director, Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley.

"Our goal is to educate the public on various home improvement topics so that they are armed with appropriate information. This will then afford them the opportunity to make good decisions, whether they are doing the work themselves or hiring a contractor."

For the month February, Restore will be offering all tile, grout and tile adhesive materials at reduced prices.

Admission is free. For details or to sign up for a current workshop, visit www.restoreelgin.org, call (847) 742-9905 or stop by during open hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
